It looks like I'm going to re enlist in the Air Force and get a nice 52k signing bonus and a free 2 year tour to Japan!
On the top of my list is a new set of speakers for my computer. Right now I'm running a fairly decent 2.1 system. I'd like to get a 5.1 with wireless rear speakers if at all possible. If not, I wont lose any sleep over it. My PC has an optical audio jack, so that would be interesting to use. My Budget is 450 dollars.
The seconds is pretty much the same deal. I'm using a 50 dollar surround sound system for my home theater system in my living room. It sounds awful and the controls are terrible. I NEED to relace this one fast. Again, a 5.1 system would be ideal, I don’t believe wireless would be needed here.
I've been browsing Newegg and Amazon for the past few hours, and I really don’t even know what I'm looking for. Does anyone have suggestions?

It seems like the Logitech Z5500 might be a good choice too. Any ideas?

I have an older generation of what would appear to be this same line of speakers and I love them. I must have had them for over five years now and I am still using them. They sound great and work wonderfully. The only complaint I have is the subwoofer is so powerful I tend to keep it up a single notch.
Lies. I'm reenlisting for 90 grand. Star reenlistment. Gotta love it.
I did leave out that nukes still have them, but for everyone with a job that doesn't make them want to kill themselves it's zero. As of april 30th I think, too, so people doing it within this month are in the clear.

For speakers, I like PSB's Image line. I got these for my brother about a year ago and I have no complaints whatsoever about their performance. The step-down Alpha series is also good--more of a "budget" speaker, but probably more bang for the buck. The cheapest I've seen PSBs is from Saturday Audio, which has a terrible, terrible web site but again, good prices.
You could also go for Internet-direct speaker brands, which tend to offer a better value proposition. I own the Rocket series from AV123, which I love, but is probably more than you're looking for. I've heard good things about their budget ELT line, though I've never heard them personally. You should also check out Aperion Audio and Ascend Audio. I'm pretty sure all of these companies offer free 30-day trial periods, so you can see how they sound in your room and send them back free of charge if it doesn't work out. Speakers can sound vastly different from room to room, so it's always ideal to do this if you can. Not that lugging 50 pounds of speakers to UPS would be fun.
As for the ".1," well, cheap, good subs are a little harder to come by...but having a sub is essential for movies, in my opinion.
